This feature allows you to customize Board Game Arena with some CSS.

= Why this feature? =

At first, because this is cool :)

Then, a lot of players told us that BGA should look better, and we constantly tried to make it look much better. But as it is a community-based website, we found out that we should allow YOU to participate. So this is why you can customize BGA appearance and share your customization with others.

= How it works? =

From your account preferences, "advanced" tab, you can write some CSS. As soon as you click on "save", it is integrated to BGA CSS for your account.

= What is CSS ? =

Well... if you don't know what CSS is, sorry but you shouldn't try to customize BGA appearance with this tool.

= Reset CSS =

Just above the CSS customization form, there is a link to reset all your changes and get back to the normal BGA. Please '''bookmark this link''' before doing any change to your CSS code. If you break the website by any manner, you'll be able to restore the original BGA instantly.

= Modify images =

Most of images on BGA are loaded through "background-image" CSS command. This way, you can update it and load any image. You can host image on any server, or on a website like [http://imgur.com/ imgur].

= Sharing customization =

Using the link above the CSS customization form, you can share your customization with anyone.

Please DO NOT send a link that break the website. If we detect some attempt to fool users, we will immediately take action against you.

= Troubleshooting =

== The CSS code I wrote is not taken into account ==

At first, check the sourcecode of the BGA page. If your CSS code does not appear there, then the most probable reason is that you did a syntax error in your CSS code, so we didn't take a part of your code into account.

If it appears, then it should be an error in one of your declaration (ex: wrong #id).

Game clock

Sourisdudesert:

[[Category:Help]]
On '''Board Game Arena''' you are playing "live" (real time) or "turn-based" (asynchronously). In both cases, have an allotted delay to play your moves.

Most of the time, your initial delay at the beginning of a game is some minutes (in realtime mode) or some days (in turn-based mode). During each turn, or on specific occasions, you get an additional delay. If you have no more time to play, you will get a "clock" penalty and your opponents can decide to skip your turns.

== Time to think ==

Your allotted time to think is displayed on the right of your player's name. When it's your turn to play, this time is also displayed at the top of the web page.

== Game speed ==

Table administrator can make a choice between some game speed profile (example: fast, normal, slow). There are many speeds for each mode (realtime and turn-based).

The additional amount of time credited each turn depends on chosen game speed profile. Be careful to check game speed before game start to adapt your timing. The interface displays an estimation of the game duration based on recently played game with the same game and speed.

Note: your allotted time to think cannot go higher that your initial time to think. For example, if you start the game with 5 minutes of thinking time, you time will be limited to 5 minutes maximum.

Note: playing without time limit is strongly discouraged, except if you are playing with friends or to discover a new game. Remember that without time limit, you can't skip the turn of a player that is not playing.

== Running out of time ==

As soon as you run out of time (negative clock), you get a clock penalty.

'''For realtime games''':

When a player has a negative clock, his opponents may make him skip his turn. Once this has been done, all following turns are skipped automatically.

When you are in this situation (turns skipped automatically), you can get back in the game by clicking on the dedicated button "get back in this game". Note that you are not allowed to get back in the game if your clock is still negative. However, as all your turn are skipped, it shouldn't take long before your clock become positive again.

If you can't/don't manage to get back in the game before the game end, you will get a "leave" penalty on your profile.

'''For turn-based games''':

On turn-based games, you are warned by email when you are running out of time. As soon as you are out of time, your next turn is skipped.

== Continue the game after a "skip turn" ==

If you are playing in a game where a player skip all his turn, you have 2 options:
* You can continue to play the game until the end. This is recommended. In this case you will win ELO points you deserve for your victory.
* You can abandon the game. All players with a negative clock will accept automatically. In this case, players who leaved the game get an ELO penalty (in addition to a "leave" penalty).

== "My opponent is too slow" ==

Each of us has different expectations on game speed. Please remember that as soon as a table has been set up at a given game speed, each player is allowed to use all his allotted time to think. If you want to play fast, set up or join table with "fast" mode only, but don't force an opponent to play when he has the right to do so.

== "I would like to think a little" ==

If you are in a critical step of the game and want to take some time to think, you can click on the link "I would like to think a little" on the top right of the page.

Thus, your opponents will receive a message and won't be thinking you are away from keyboard.

Clicking on this link is not mandatory, but we encourage its use for courtesy.

== About "cheating" ==

In the "real life Hanabi", you can talk. That's why we choosed to let the chat open for the online version.

As a consequence, this is very easy to cheat at Hanabi. And as you can imagine, this is very stupid and this has no interest... except for ELO boosting. This is the reason why for this game there is no international ranking (ie: best player, second best player) and no trophies associated to it.

== ELO rating ==
If you are playing with ELO rating on, your ELO may be changed at the end of the game.

Here is how it works:

1) Every player on the team is temporarily considered as having the average ELO rating of the team.

2) The system will generate a bot associated with the score your team has achieved (let’s call it '''Hanabot'''). Hanabot’s ELO rating depends on the variant you are playing (50 cards, 60 cards, 60 cards multicolor), the number of players on the team and, most importantly, your team's score. All Hanabot’s ELO ratings have been set by an experienced player, they are not random or simply proportional to the score/number of players.

3) Your team (actually your team's average ELO) will now compete against Hanabot. The system will calculate your team’s ELO gain/loss as though your team had tied with Hanabot.
If your score is below 18 (50-card game) or below 21 (60-card game), your team is considered as losing against the weakest Hanabot for this configuration (variant and number of players).

FYI, you can find all bots' ELO ratings here:
(available soon)

The 55-card variant (50 cards + 1 of each value in the sixth color) cannot be played with ELO rating on. This is because this variant is highly dependent on draw and a team’s score may not always reflect the players’ skills.

A loss (3 Strike tokens) is the same as a score of 0.

If you achieve the perfect score and this should cost you ELO points, you will be considered as having beaten the bot associated with the score, so that you lose no ELO points.

Privacy

Sourisdudesert: Protected "Privacy" ([edit=sysop] (indefinite) [move=sysop] (indefinite))

To create an account, you need to provide an email, user name and password.
You can also complete your player profile with some other data.

We store this data. Yep. It would be pretty annoying for you to enter it each time you visit ;)

If you are 'internet paranoid' and you never provide any website with accurate personal information, congratulations! You can skip this section.

If you are not, congratulations! You can also skip this section which is intended only for 'internet paranoid' people anyway... It has been written for compliance with some social network authentication policy (take your bet, there is only two - oh, wait, if you are reading this you probably know). Well, to be fair, I could have left it empty too, the only check made by said social network being that the page exists. But, what would have been the fun in that?

If you are still interested to read on some stuff instead of going straight to playing:
* Your password is stored encrypted, but the usual precautionary measures apply. You should use a strong password and not use the same one that for sensitive websites. Some people would say never to use the same password, but this looks like excessive blunt force to the head, except for websites with very sensitive information. Shouldn't be the case on a gaming website, but hey, do as you please.
* We don't share your email with third parties without your consent. Your consent may be implicit in some obvious cases (such as if you take part in a contest with prizes from a publisher, as it will be needed for the publisher to contact you to redeem the prize).
* Your profile information is visible to other players, as well as your gaming history on the website. So, since anyone can create an account on the site, it should be considered public information. But if you use a pseudonym for your username, it shouldn't be easy to link it to your real identity (in case you would be worried about that).

Hope this all sounds reasonable to you, and that you can now enjoy Board Game Arena without second thoughts!

Cheers and doughnuts,

The admins.

The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services. Some Services may offer you ways to access and remove content that has been provided to that Service. Also, in some of our Services, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope of our use of the content submitted in those Services. Make sure you have the necessary rights to grant us this license for any content that you submit to our Services.

Our automated systems analyze your content to provide you personally relevant features. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored.

You can find more information about how BGA uses and stores content in the privacy policy or additional terms for particular Services. If you submit feedback or suggestions about our Services, we may use your feedback or suggestions without obligation to you.

== About Software in our Services ==

When a Service requires or includes downloadable software, this software may update automatically on your device once a new version or feature is available. Some Services may let you adjust your automatic update settings.

BGA gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the software provided to you by BGA as part of the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Services as provided by BGA, in the manner permitted by these terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Services or included software, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless laws prohibit those restrictions or you have our written permission.

Open source software is important to us. Some software used in our Services may be offered under an open source license that we will make available to you. There may be provisions in the open source license that expressly override some of these terms.

== Modifying and Terminating our Services ==

We are constantly changing and improving our Services. We may add or remove functionalities or features, and we may suspend or stop a Service altogether.

You can stop using our Services at any time, although we’ll be sorry to see you go. BGA may also stop providing Services to you, or add or create new limits to our Services at any time.

We believe that you own your data and preserving your access to such data is important. If we discontinue a Service, where reasonably possible, we will give you reasonable advance notice and a chance to get information out of that Service.

== Our Warranties and Disclaimers ==

We provide our Services using a commercially reasonable level of skill and care and we hope that you will enjoy using them. But there are certain things that we don’t promise about our Services.

OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THESE TERMS OR ADDITIONAL TERMS, NEITHER BGA NOR ITS SUPPLIERS OR DISTRIBUTORS MAKE ANY SPECIFIC PROMISES ABOUT THE SERVICES. FOR EXAMPLE, WE DON’T MAKE ANY COMMITMENTS ABOUT THE CONTENT WITHIN THE SERVICES, THE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF THE SERVICES, OR THEIR RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, OR ABILITY TO MEET YOUR NEEDS. WE PROVIDE THE SERVICES “AS IS”.

SOME JURISDICTIONS PROVIDE FOR CERTAIN WARRANTIES, LIKE THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EXCLUDE ALL WARRANTIES.

== Liability for our Services ==

WHEN PERMITTED BY LAW, BGA WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, OR DATA, FINANCIAL LOSSES OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF BGA, AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS, FOR ANY CLAIMS UNDER THESE TERMS, INCLUDING FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US TO USE THE SERVICES (OR, IF WE CHOOSE, TO SUPPLYING YOU THE SERVICES AGAIN).

IN ALL CASES, BGA, AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS, WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT IS NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.

== Business uses of our Services ==

If you are using our Services on behalf of a business, that business accepts these terms. It will hold harmless and indemnify BGA and its affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from any claim, suit or action arising from or related to the use of the Services or violation of these terms, including any liability or expense arising from claims, losses, damages, suits, judgments, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees.

== About these Terms ==

We may modify these terms or any additional terms that apply to a Service to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our Services. You should look at the terms regularly. Changes will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified terms for a Service, you should discontinue your use of that Service.

If there is a conflict between these terms and the additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict.

These terms control the relationship between BGA and you. They do not create any third party beneficiary rights.

If you do not comply with these terms, and we don’t take action right away, this doesn’t mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).

If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms.

The laws of France will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to these terms or the Services. All claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the Services will be litigated exclusively in the French courts.
